Will you be 'seeing' PINK elephants? LOL! Your quilt will be soooo cute. I LOVE elephants...those and cuttle fish are my FAV critters!
OK, back to the subject. I LOVE batiks too. They make the most beautiful flowers, leaves, and everything else 'painterly.' There is just nothing else like them. SO pretty. I used them on nautical star pattern...bright pattern "exploding" on background like space (dark blue with lights). Kinda like, "Let there be light" or at least was what I was trying to capture...best as could.
